Yamaha 150HP DEC | LF150XCA

Two features set the Yamaha LF150XCA DEC apart from a plain 150 hp four-stroke: a counter-rotating lower unit and Digital Electronic Control throttle and shift, built for one side of a twin-engine installation. Listed as new, it carries a 25-inch shaft, electric start, and EFI across 2670cc, weighing 487 lbs.

What this combination is for

Counter-rotation keeps a twin-engine boat tracking straight by having the two propellers turn opposite directions, while Digital Electronic Control swaps the mechanical throttle and shift cables for an electronic link to the helm. Together they suit a boat being rigged as a matched pair with a standard-rotation DEC engine on the other side.

Before you order

Confirm this motor is going on the correct side of a twin installation and that the boat's control head is the digital type this engine requires, since a mechanical cable setup will not run it. Separately, check the 25-inch shaft against the transom, and confirm the exact unit condition with us before ordering.
